This requirement exists to manage third-party relationships from onboarding through change, renewal, termination, data return, data destruction, access revocation, verification, and continuous improvement, specifically addressing contract renewal, so that third-party risks remain identified, controlled, and aligned with organizational risk appetite.
Establish and document the process for contract renewal. Define accountable owners, required inputs and outputs, assessment or approval criteria, review frequency, monitoring, reporting, exception handling, evidence requirements, and escalation paths. Apply the process consistently across relevant third parties based on criticality, data sensitivity, service dependency, and risk.
